Crossfire

Crossfire is a set of innovative Wargaming Rules that delivers high-intensity action for miniatures gamers without the inconvenience of rulers or fixed turns. They are one of the first rule sets to use a genuine “variable length bound” that is not artificially contrived. This means there is no set amount of activity that can occur in a players “turn”, nor is there any limit on how often a player can “have a turn”. The result reproduces real life experiences and greatly adds to the ‘fog of war’ effect.

Another innovative feature is the lack of measurements – that’s right, you don’t need a ruler to play Crossfire! Turns are a combination of impulse (you just keep doing things until stopped by something or someone) and modular (an individual move ends whenever you enter a new object or terrain feature). Again this works well with the “variable length bound” concept and creates a real-life like ebb and flow of company and battalion level combat.
